1、同义替换的运用
在口语这一部分,同学们有心留意的话可以观察到,native speaker总是可以不假思索地使用同义词。那么对于大家来说,也要学着把同义替换表达插入到自己的回答中。给同学们展示两个类似的回答来看看其中的差距:
Examiner: Do you do any sports?
Candidate 1: Yes, I do sports. I like sports. Sports are a great way to meet other people, so I do sports as much as possible. Sports are a big part of my life and I think more people should take up sports and incorporate sports into their daily life.
Candidate 2: Yes, I do. I like sports. I think it is a great way to meet other people, so I play football and basketball as much as possible. Exercise is a big part of my life and I think more people should take up physical activities and incorporate them into their daily life.
可以明显看到第一个考生重复了太多次“sports”,容易给考官一种词汇量极其匮乏的感觉。第二个考生通篇只使用了一次“sports”,但一直在用“football”、“basketball”、“exercises”等词来强化答案和“sports”的联系。大家在背诵时也应该照这个标准来执行
2、怎么背?
同写作相同的一点是,雅思口语也要积累足够多的话题相关同义替换表达,这样才可以避免出现上面考生1犯的问题。
比如在谈到休闲娱乐相关的话题时,就可以用出下面这些词:
entertainment 娱乐
sparetime 空闲时间
night life 夜生活
recreational activity 娱乐活动
Karaoke 卡拉OK(等具体活动名字)
不过在积累的时候还要注意的一个点就是,不仅要知道其用法,还要确保自己能发音正确,这样才能在考官面前使用成功。 |
